From info I found on some guys personal website.
https://koshka.love/zzt/index.html
https://koshka.love/babel/ALL-CAPS.html

"ZZT is an MS-DOS game created by the famous Tim Sweeney back in 1991. ZZT is mostly known not for its multi-episode base game, but for the extremely prolific catalogue of games that were created by a community of fans, mostly during the 90s and early 2000s."

"The ZZT community is probably best known these days for the vast library of excellent fan games that they churned out, but it also produced a rich culture with a number of memes that spread beyond the community and ultimately survive it. A number of famous memes such as "FAIL" and calling people *fags (oldfags, newfags, doomfags) very arguably were born in the primordial ZZT community before being claimed after the fact by more prominent communities after they spread across the Web."

So it's 2022--only a few months 'til 2023, actually-- but is does this decade feel any different from the 2010's yet? Has the "sensibility" changed at all? Is there any fashions you wouldn't have seen in 2015? Are there any songs you wouldn't have heard in 2015? Are there any movies that wouldn't have come out in 2015? Has anyone said anything they totally wouldn't have said in 2015? Are we really in the "'20s" at all yet? it feels like all the same old bullshit to me...(´ー`)

I think this year is when the decade will start morphing into something different, if that happens-- although I think the AI boom is already a major change. AI art for example is a new aesthetic that didn't exist before...

Yeah it's so far way less sane than the 2010's and everything sucks!

There was some good songs in radio cant say some now but this decade and 2010 decade is empty in general. Society is dying and thats all. I remember my era when there were first phones with internet,ICQ messaging,inovative games with great moods,simple internet websites,internet with more freedom,better Windows and some sanity in technology use... After 2010 it was became worse after 2015 it was mess.
>>
I don't know about anyone else, but I thought the 2000s sucked at the time and was just lame rehashes of previous decades, and by 2008 I had practically written off the entire world and popular culture as being irreparably crap, forever worsening, and not worth following nor giving any credence to

So instead of feeling that anything is particularly bad today VS 5/10/15 years ago, I feel moar liek everyone else is a little late to the "everything sux!" party (which I was already very late to) (;^Д^)

For some reason whenever ボク remember that girls クソ too, ボク can't get it up til the thought leaves my head, which can take quite a while. ボク don't know, ボク find it bleakly depressing somehow.

For example ボク don't think ボク could ever live with a girl if ボク had the chance, because basically everyday ボク would hear her shitting, または catch the smell または some other signs of it that remind me.

Keep in mind the question isn't would you personally consider it. The question is what you'd do in a situation where you're committed.

That would only scare me if I was still all over social media. As it is, I know for a fact no Twitter refugees will ever show up on this site, or any of the other sites I browse regularly, so I probably wouldn't even notice any mass migration.onigiri

The popular web, composed of corporate social media sites is a ghetto wasteland. I've gradually been deleting my accounts, or just letting them rot until I forget the password and can't log back in.

But I'd like to make a break more intentionally. I have outside hobbies of course, and those are going well, but I'm interested in what I could do for online entertainment.

Do you guys know and good forums, boards,chatrooms, wikis, academic sites, etc that are good and worth looking at? Too much of the indie web seems to be composed of go-nowhere neocities projects that get abandoned after 2 years use.

I already saw the bit about lurking Usenet in the other thread.(´ー`)

>That community is full of wanabe funny people.
Rather than wanting to be funny, it's very apparent that their main goal is to ridicule and insult perceived enemies - whether it's the users of particular websites, types of people they don't like, or opposing social/political beliefs

It's all very petty and lame. They have about 3 heavily-recycled "jokes", and they're basically inverse "social justice warriors" engaging in retarded "culture wars" on the internet -_-;
>>
kinda funny how many people ITT hate soyjaks, considering kuz owns both heyuri and the party.
>>
Last I checked, he pays for and maintains the servers that Heyuri is hosted on, but he doesn't own Heyuri, its domain, etc.

And rather than "ITT", it's a core tenet of the site ^^;
>>
Honestly, i'm neutral with soyjaks.
They're either slightly funny, or they're deranged and super weird. There is rarely an inbetween.
I don't mind them, but if they're used in the wrong way or context, or even used to be offensive, then it's a humongous no-no or they're just bland/disappointing.
This isn't my kind of topic to deal with, but I don't mind talking about them if I'm ever asked about it.
>>
>Last I checked, he pays for and maintains the servers that Heyuri is hosted on, but he doesn't own Heyuri, its domain, etc.
I'm pretty sure he was an admin b4 2022. Either way, he clearly likes both sites. My point is using heyuri doesn't mean you have to hate every meme this side of 2008.

>And rather than "ITT", it's a core tenet of the site ^^;
Sure. I'm not saying "they should allow soyjaks on heyuri" I just said it's weird to pretend that they're two polar opposites when the hoster of the site literally hosts both this and the party.

I read this in an article on Psychology Today:

"Today’s young people—a generation of "digital natives"—have been having less sex than age-peers in previous generations, and the impact of the internet and smartphones on courtship and sexual patterns cannot be ignored.

"First, people are so used to the internet’s instant gratification that ordinary conversation with ordinary people can seem tame. Young people may have less comfort with the ups and downs of face to face conversation. For some, dating simply doesn’t provide the kind of continuous guaranteed engagement of the internet and smartphones; almost nothing could.

"In this context, the sex that young people are having can be confusing in a new way. Many young people are almost panicking during the inevitable moments when actual sex becomes boring or ambiguous, or when the unexpected (or unwanted) happens. In therapy sessions, young people are asking me—in ways they previously did not—“How am I supposed to get excited and stay excited during sex without anything else going on?”"

..............................

"Not only are teens having less sex than previous cohorts, they’re also masturbating less than teens of a generation ago. (This includes teens of all genders.) So, is online porn turning every young person into a masturbation junkie? Hardly. Rather, young people—who now often consume porn before they’ve had any partner sex—are comparing themselves to what they see. They don’t always realize they’re watching a fantasy, and they understandably respond by feeling inadequate, ignorant, and ashamed. That anxiety translates directly into lower arousal, lower enjoyment, and lower desire.

"As their lives become more mediated, young people who lack real-life sexual experience trivialize their own real-world senses, emotions, and needs—for example, for touching. As sex for young people becomes less and less about the five senses, and more about images, it also becomes less a vehicle for connection between them, and thus, connection becomes a weaker motivation for sex.

"Young people are also generally less curious about sex than young people used to be. While previous generations of young people felt that much of sexuality was mysterious, today's young adults understandably but erroneously feel they’ve seen it all via porn, and so they’re simply less curious and less motivated to investigate it.

Yeah, I already know most of their articles are eyeroll-worthy bullshit. I read most news articles from any news outlet silently thinking 'That's wrong.', and 'Bullshit!' every few lines. But a broken clock can be right twice a day. This stuff Psychologist-san lays out is exactly what I'd been thinking all along.
>>
Because we realized it was all a hype. Sex was repressed for centuries (in the West at least) and then in 70s it's like the dam bust and it was an orgy of sexual freedom. Well, by the 90s and 2000s that excitement around sexual freedom died down as we realized that it wasn't what it was chalked up to be. AIDS, cheating, broken homes, sexless marriages, rampant pornography, child exploitation, rape etc. Basically we got hungover.
>>
So, it seems younger people are having less sex...... And what??
>>
AND LESS CAEK Σ(;゚Д゚)
>>
This is one part good one part bad. People in the past were having sex for fun constantly, and in high amounts. This is good that that has decreased. The bad news is now all those people are watching porn. Ban porn, abortions and contraception and sex rates will go back to the norm of the pre-60's.

Two men are knocking back beers in a bar on the ninetieth floor of the Empire State building.
“You know, there’s a slipstream around the seventieth floor,” says one, opening a window, “and if you jump out here, it’ll suck you back in at the fiftieth floor.”

“Ah, c’mon,” says the second, more than a little drunk.
“No, really” says the first. “I’ll show you.” So he jumps out the window, comes in through a fiftieth-floor window, takes the elevator up, and appears triumphantly back in the bar.
“Hey, I’m going to try that,” says the second guy. He jumps out the window, falls ninety floors, and is killed instantly.
“Hey,” says the bartender, looking hard at the first man, “you can be a real bastard when you’re drunk, Superman.

From an article I read:
"That "secure" peer-to-peer (“P2P”) network isn't really secure at all. It's complicated, but the folks managing your ISP aren't dumb. Unless you’re an IT guru who knows how to "hide" on the web, your ISP will eventually figure out what you’re doing. They will know you are stealing copyrighted media (songs, TV shows, movies, software, etc.) and move to halt your actions. Then the folks from whom you stole will come to collect.

"First, you'll get a cease and desist notice with a strongly worded legal warning. The letter will have documentation of your IP address and its illegal activity. It will then state the offense, namely, copyright infringement. It will warn you that you are in danger of committing an offense that can result in hefty fines or jail time or both.

"Then, with your IP address flagged, they will turn your name over to entertainment industry lawyers to pursue legal action against you. If you haven’t done enough to fix the situation, they will either sue you directly for compensation and damages, or turn your name over to the federal authorities (they don't play at the state level), or both."

^ Lolwut? I've never encountered this, or even heard of anyone getting caught like this. Is it just scare-mongering? Is it just cause I don't live in America? Maybe. The cops here couldn't tell a tripcode from a tree. And our copyright law isn't so iron-fisted. Lol.iyahoo

I'm in Europe. After 15 years of trouble-free pirating on my bare IP, about 5 years ago I got sent a letter from my ISP after torrenting a certain popular kids movie that a family member requested

The letter just contained suggestions of legal alternatives, so now I simply maek sure to keep my VPN on while torrenting ヽ(´ー`)ノ
>>
it's all fear-mongering. lawyers will never come at you for pirating digital stuff for your own use, though if you are some kinda big distributor they might. even if the ISP sends you a letter, it's just because they're legally required to after being bugged by the company whose stuff you're downloading. it's in your ISP's interest to NOT actually do anything about it, because they want to keep collecting your money as a customer
>>
American perspective here:
It's a thing here, but only if you pirate from popular public sites like TPB without a VPN. They also will never immediately take legal action, they'll give you a few warnings first.
So basically, as long as you aren't an idiot you should never have to worry about it.
Tangentially: I've heard piracy is taken a lot more seriously in Japan than the US. Is this true?

At least the latter half.

So, In the '90s, there was a brief period where companies invested massive amounts of cash into artists that were seen as artistic or unusual. This had to do with the unexpected success off Grunge Music, Electronic Music and Hip Hop.

So because of this, companies thought that other adventurous, experimental artists could also make them money. It became a trend.

Many of these artists were decidedly anti-corporate so selling out to corporate interests made them conflicted. For example, famous actors didn't do commercials cause they considered it 'beneath them'. (Of course, they still wanted to make a living, so many of them did them in foreign countries.). Entertainers seriously thought that endorsing products was beneath them some thirty years ago.

What happened to that attitude? Well, in America (cultural headquarters of the World Empire), there used to be legislation on the books that prevented media corporations from forming monopolies. That legislation was gutted with the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

Everything in pop culture got massively stupid after that point quite demonstratably. Think about the rise of boy bands, girl groups, Britney Spears, braindead hip hop, reality shows, crap like Sex and The City. It led to the TRL era of shitty pop music. Social media and algorithms picked up from there.

So even before algorithms, corporate greed sort of killed the idea of large companies investing in raw, adventurous (actually good), artists.

There used to be like 75 major media companies, fairly quickly that went down to something like 3. I think this has more to do with popular culture stagnating than anyone realizes or acknowledges, to this day...

The earlier 90s already had shitty fake pop stars with the likes of Milli Vanilli and such. But I guess this probably did go a long way to making things even worse.

There were manufactured/fake pop groups since at least the 1960s (The Monkees, The Archies, etc.)

Meaningless "pop culture" crap aside, the 1990s overall were a pretty good time to be alive if you lived in North America or Western Europe... although not so much in Eastern Europe (^^;

There were plenty of prior decades - even in the 20th century alone - that were much shittier and tougher to live through for large portions of the Western world than the 1990s!
>>
>>4455

Obviously when people talk about and compare 'decades' they are referring chiefly to that fast-moving cultural period that started in the 1960s. For earlier times than that a 'decade' culture is tenuous or inapplicable. Mainly because few people a live can be said to remember those eras. So when people talk about 'when things got bad' they are talking about a point somewhere in those sixty years. I think it goes without saying that the 1930s was an awful time to live, but how often do you actually hear people talk about the 1930s as a 'decade', aside from vague gesturing at The Great Depression?

Even your own example shows off this post 1960s bias. Why do you say that manufactured pop groups have been around since 'at least the '60s'? Why not earlier, like 'The Teenagers' or 'The Coasters' in the 1950s?
